Treatment and Recycling of Solid Waste provides an introduction to six types of waste, namely municipal and rural solid waste, construction and demolition waste, hazardous waste, industrial waste, electric and electronic waste, and sewage sludge. These types of waste will be discussed in great detail as well as combining with the treatment and recycling technologies, such as pretreatment, reuse and recycling, anaerobic digestion and aerobic compositing, incineration for power, pyrolysis, and sanitary landfill. This book will focus on pollution control and resource utilization. It will also describe the combining process design principles with application examples to comprehensively describe various methods, principles, processes, new technologies, new methods, and new theories for solid waste treatment and recycling.
